Tangyue Archway group is 6.5 kilometers away from Shenxian County (26km to Tunxi). There are 7 memorial archways queuing on the way. 3 were built in Ming Dynasty, the other 4 in Qing, in a successive order of loyalty, filial piety, women's chastity and charity. Each was built in relation with a moving story and vividly reveals in one way or another the moral values. In recent years, it became a popular spot for filming the historical movies.

Both have been renovated as they were in old days with perfect craftsmanship.
